RESUMO
Objective To explore the role of peripheral blood CD4+CD25+CD127low Treg cells,interleukin-17A (IL-17A) and IL-27 in the pathogenesis of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU).Methods Peripheral blood samples were obtained from 37 patients with CSU (CSU group)and 40 healthy controls (control group).Flow cytometry was performed to determine the percentage of CD4+CD25+CD127low Treg cells in the peripheral blood,and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect the serum levels of IL-17A and IL-27.Results The percentage of CD4+CD25+CD127low Treg cells in the peripheral blood (5.99％ ± 2.72％ vs.9.07％ ± 3.44 ％,t =4.325,P ＜ 0.01) and the serum level of IL-27 (20.54 ± 7.65 ng/L vs.26.63 ± 9.72 ng/L,t =3.039,P =0.003) were both significantly lower in the CSU group than in the control group.However,there was no significant difference in the serum level of IL-17A between the 2 groups (P =0.529).Among the patients with CSU,the level of IL-17A was negatively correlated with the percentage of CD4+CD25+CD127low Treg cells (r =-0.359,P =0.029),while the urticaria activity score (UAS) was uncorrelated with the levels of IL-17A and IL-27 as well as the percentage of CD4+CD25+ CD127low Treg cells (r =-0.076,-0.083,-0.053 respectively,all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion There may be Th17/Treg imbalance in the peripheral blood of patients with CSU,and IL-27 may be involved in the occurrence of CSU.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate familial hyperlipoproteinemia and the features of familial hyperlipoproteinemia in Lanzhou . Methods Data were from previous studies on the subject .Families of hyperlipoproteinemia were screening ,questionnaires were col-lected ,physical examination and laboratory data of family members were also colleted to analysis the characteristics of familial hy-perlipoproteinemia .Results A total of 39 familial hyperlipoproteinemia families were enrolled in the study ,including 280 family members .There were 15 core families ,11 single-parent families ,and 13 orphaned families .There were 6 familial hypercholesterol-emia families ,9 familial hypertriglycerides families ,24 mixed familial hyperlipidemia families .The children of the first generation ac-counted for 63 .2% of the total number of people enrolled in the study ,the father generation accounted for 14 .3% ,the children of the second geration accounted for 22 .5% .Conclusion In the survey ,the most common type of familial hyperlipidemia was mixed familial hyperlipidemia .The father generation was majority .The member of core families was less than incomplete families .
RESUMO
Objective:Host genetic factors are known to contribute to disease susceptibility.They may also be important in defining the pattern of disease presentation and progression,as well as its overall prognosis.However,no consistent HLA class-Ⅰ associations have been established in leukemia by PCR/SSOP in Gansu Chinese Han.Such studies have been reported in other counties,with conflicting results.This is the first PCR-based HLA class-Ⅰ association study in northwestern Chinese Han nationality leukemia.Methods:Compared HLA class-Ⅰ in 43 Chinese leukemia patients and 66 healthy Chinese controls as determined by polymerase chain reaction and sequence-specific olignucletide probe hybridization(PCR/SSO) DNA analysis.The present findings imply that HLA-associated genetic factors influence the risk for the development of leukemia.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the correlation between gene HLA-class I polymorphism and susceptibility to leukemia in Chinese Gansu Han people and search for the genes susceptible to leukemia.Methods HLA-A and B alleles polymorphism in 65 patients with leukemia and 48 normal subjects were determined by PCR with sequence specific oligucleotide probe(PCR-SSO).Results The allele frequencies of HLA-A01 and B38 were increased (P
